THREE BEAUTIFUL SISTERS



Macy, Summer, and Aubrey

Macy and Aubrey


These three girls spent Saturday afternoon and two overnights with us over Labor Day Weekend. It is always such fun to listen to the lives of little girls. We went to the Swiss Days Festival in Midway on Saturday afternoon. This festival is one big shopping and eating fest. Over 100,000 people attended over the two days it was open. Venders came from all over the country to sell their wares. These girls were in heaven. Their big purchase of the day was feathers braided into their hair....green for Summer, pink for Aubrey, and blue for Macy. Macy wanted a brown and yellow striped, but Summer put the kibosh on that. I kind of liked the stripe. They also bought a package of Tats for Toes. The name is misleading as they were stick-ons for their fingernails in bright colors with geometric shapes. So cute. Macy spent most of her money on a tiny white bear which she absolutely had to have. I gave each a set amount of money and turned them loose. It was hard not to give advice. A large bag of kettle corn was the final purchase of the day. They munched and laughed all the way home.
Our church didn't start until 1:00 on Sunday, so they spent the morning hunting for lizards among the rocks. One turned its head back and bit Summer while she was holding it. At the appointed hour they dressed themselves and did their own hair. Summer supervised and helped and even used the flatiron without burning herself or the house down. It is hard to imagine these beautiful girls rummaging for lizards, but they are multi-talented. We love spending time with our beautiful granddaughters.
